No. The river runs into the ocean anyway, and even if a new source of freshwater were to run into the ocean, the oceans are so massive there wouldn’t be any measurable change in salinity. A canal like this probably won’t have much flow anyway, as it’s meant for shipping and transportation rather than water diversion or irrigation.

The article does note some concerns in terms of additional pollution and disruption of wildlife due to increased traffic and more industry.

The entire EU supply chain is subsidized.

Good that those things are taught in some places. I can only speak from my own experience in high school - we were required to have laptops for school but were never taught how to be safe online.

Some people put their whole lives on the internet and never once stop to think if it’s a good idea. Then again, online safety and security are never taught or communicated, at least in the west, maybe by design.

Digital surveillance is omnipresent in the west. Apparently nobody cares.

Still no worse than the worst of the male grifters.

VPN server on one, client on another.

A matrix bot on each end would work too but seems unnecessarily complicated.

Hugo with a simple theme like book or paper should do it. Alternatively Jekyll or Docusaurus, in principle they’re all the same in that they process markdown files and dump out a static site.

Astro for a more feature rich “development” experience.

Pretty sites are cool and all, but in my experience super simple things often just don’t work. I’m not patient anymore when it comes to stuff like that, so I’ll close the tab real quick and find the information elsewhere or move on to the next thing.

Forgejo is a git server, forked by Codeberg from Gitea after Gitea got bought up by a for-profit corporation.

Codeberg is a non-profit organization which runs a public instance of the Forgejo git server.

You can make an account on Codeberg.org, save repos there, and contribute to other repos, like on Github. Or you can run your own Forgejo instance to use either privately or open up to public use.

I know that’s common practice and sometimes even the law, but it doesn’t matter if it’s a blind trust. The decisions made by the person getting the money are more influenced by how much they stand to gain or lose, and less by what the people want and need.

The point is that the people cannot possibly trust a representative who has higher priorities than serving the people.

Workers make money, he just gets some for no reason.

His PM salary is only about 7% of that total.

His job is to represent the people of his electoral riding and manage the day to day work of the PM’s office. That he’s making £2M on the side is grounds for an immediate recall if you ask me.

That’s weird, his salary as PM is just £160,000. Has he been bunking off work early to go to some side job? Most employers have strict rules about employees working elsewhere at the same time, as it negatively impacts employee performance.

Copyright expires long after unprofitable content has been all but lost forever, something like 100 years after the death of the original creator. It used to be a far shorter period, but US corporations with big profitable IP holdings keep bribing lawmakers to extend it, and force its enforcement outside of the US as well. The concept of being able to sell copyrights is also quite silly if you ask me.

So unfortunate Gutenberg and similar libraries can only have really old stuff as things stand.

I said it during the campaign and I’ll say it now, Biden’s presidency is elder abuse. Not to say that I feel bad for Genocide Joe, he chose the path of violence for the expansion of the empire his whole life.

Corporations will never offer such archives, as they’re a money losing proposition. In some cases IP and copyright law is even such that content can’t be realistically archived and provided.

Ah yes, the ever so trustworthy US State Department and intelligence services scribe the Washington Post. They’re definitely not throwing a smokescreen.

“We’ve investigated ourselves of any wrongdoing, and while we can’t credibly deny that we suggested blowing up the pipeline and really wanted the pipeline blown up, we definitely didn’t touch the actual explosives!”

You could rsync with directories shared on the local network, like a samba share or similar. It’s a bit slower than ssh but for regular incremental backups you probably won’t notice any difference, especially when it’s supposed to run in the background on a schedule.

Alternatively use a non-password protected ssh key, as already suggested.

You can also write rsync commands or at least a shell script that copies all of your desired directories with one command rather than one per file.

I’m not familiar with how VLC manages LAN streaming, but smb (samba) is a filesharing server you have to set up. Just search “set up samba share ubuntu”.
